Hi all seems a bit sad this, I started shooting about 5 months ago after getting the bug on a stag do with some mates down south. A work mate and I had a few lessons and although he enjoyed it, he didn't get the bug like me. I applied for my SGC and having got it I bought a second hand Beretta. Through my own clumsiness, gun fell over, rib got bent. Another mate introduced me to a mate of his who shoots and also repairs guns. Gun repaired he invited me along to a local ground and have now shot with him and various others on about 5 or 6 occasions. The problem is they only seem to shoot if they can get 4 or 5 together, if not they don't bother. My problem is I could do with shooting every week. My question I suppose is, why don't clubs, having given lessons, have a next step where you can meet and shoot with people who are at the same sort of level. It seems to me that there is no obvious stepping stone from those first few exciting lessons to finding like minded shooters and or entering competitions. Hence for the first time ever I am left feeling like Billy no mates?
